It's very similar, but more primitive. Lin Ye nodded. It seems that the crises in different dimensions have been connected for a long time.
Just then, the island suddenly trembled violently, and the waves crashed against the rocks on the shore with a roar. In the distance, a dark fleet appeared on the sea, with the naval flag flying on the lead warship. A man wearing a dog-head mask stood at the bow of the ship, his domineering aura like solid armor, making the surrounding air tremble.
Monkey D. Luffy, and these unidentified intruders. A man's booming voice echoed across the island through the loudspeaker: "You are under arrest for allegedly damaging historical sites."
It's Admiral Inuarashi! Usopp's face turned pale, and he hid behind a rock, trembling. It's said that his Armament Haki can withstand the attacks of the Four Emperors, making him impervious to blades and spears!
Vegeta's deep blue aura erupted instantly, shattering the stone slab beneath his feet: "Perfect, let's test the strength of this world's so-called strongmen." His figure vanished from his spot in an instant, his fist, carrying destructive energy, hurtling towards Inuarashi. "Get out of my way!"
Bang! The fist collided with Inuarashi's fist, producing a dull thud. Vegeta was surprised to find that his energy was actually deflected by the black Haki emanating from the opponent, and his arm went numb.
"Interesting." Inuarashi's eyes sharpened through his mask. "Your power is peculiar, not of this world." He drew his sword, its blade coated in thick Armament Haki, but in this sea, Haki still reigns supreme. A flash of light, the blade slashing towards Vegeta with a dimensional-cutting effect.
"Watch out!" Lin Ye's Complete Freedom Ultra Instinct form quietly activated, its silver aura gleaming softly in the sunlight. He didn't attack directly, but instead, just as the blade approached Vegeta, he reached out and grabbed Vegeta's arm, gently pulling him aside, both avoiding the attack simultaneously. The Haki of this world does indeed share similarities with Saiyan ki; both are manifestations of life energy. He gathered a faint wisp of ki at his fingertips, tentatively testing Inuarashi's Haki, only they excel at hardening and impact, while we excel at explosive power and destruction.
"Enough with the nonsense!" Vegeta broke free from Lin Ye's grasp and charged forward again, ready to shatter his turtle shell!
"Me too!" Zoro unleashed his three swords simultaneously. It had been a long time since he had encountered a worthy opponent! The flashes of swords and the shadows of fists intertwined, and the resulting shockwaves sent the surrounding trees flying.
Luffy, his blood boiling with excitement, suddenly jumped up: Gum-Gum... Bazooka! His outstretched arm, imbued with Conqueror's Haki, slammed into Inuarashi's back. Everyone, attack together!
Despite being surrounded by three opponents, Inuarashi held his own. His Armament Haki defense was impenetrable, and his occasional counterattacks forced the three to retreat. "Your strength is indeed formidable, but your teamwork is terrible!"
Lin Ye noticed that Robin was still deciphering the stone tablet and immediately shouted: "Gabe, Number 18, protect Robin! We'll hold him off!"
"Roger that!" Gabe's golden aura erupted, blocking Robin's path. "Anyone who dares to come near will taste my power-up cannon!"
Number 18 leaned against the rock, his finger on the trigger of a miniature missile: My bullets don't care about any domineering presence.
The battle intensified, and surprisingly, Vegeta, Zoro, and Luffy's teamwork became increasingly seamless as the fight progressed. Luffy's Gum-Gum Fruit extended, launching Vegeta high into the air; Zoro's slash cleared obstacles for Vegeta's ki blast; and Vegeta's energy explosion created opportunities for Luffy's close-range attacks.
"Lin Ye! Come quick!" Robin's voice was filled with excitement. This contains the method to close the dimensional rift! It requires the Ark's energy reactor for power, and the core of the Devil Fruit Tree as a key!
System notification: [Triggering a cross-dimensional mission to repair dimensional rifts. Reward: Permanent access to the One Piece world, unlocking the Haki-Ki conversion skill].
Lin Ye's eyes lit up, and he shouted: "Everyone! The target isn't the Navy, it's the Devil Fruit Tree in the center of the island!"
"Understood!" Luffy suddenly burst into laughter. "Gum-Gum, giant kite!" He blew his body up like a balloon and flew towards the center of the island with Vegeta and Zoro.
The Saiyan Alliance and the Straw Hat Pirates are working together more and more seamlessly. Sanji's kicking technique adds a spinning effect to Cabba's energy blast, significantly increasing its power; Usopp's smoke bomb provides cover for Android 18's missile; and Chopper's Rumble Ball form is responsible for healing the wounded soldiers.
Lin Ye gripped the Dimensional Holy Sword, easily dodging Inuarashi's attack: "Our goal isn't to fight, but to repair the rift." He pointed to the shrinking space in the distance, "You should be able to sense that the space of this world is becoming unstable."
Inuarashi paused, his expression behind the mask obscured, but the force of his attack noticeably weakened.
As Lin Ye's hand touched the core of the Devil Fruit Tree, the Dimensional Holy Sword suddenly pierced into the tree, bursting forth with a dazzling light along with the core. The text of the Poneglyphs flew from the stone tablet, forming a complete incantation in the air. The dimensional rifts surrounding the island began to contract, the shimmering chaotic energy being slowly drawn back into the rifts and then disappearing.
Inuarashi stood aside, watching this unbelievable scene, and finally sheathed his sword: You... are you really here to protect this world?
All dimensions are interconnected. Lin Ye drew his Dimensional Holy Sword, the patterns on its blade becoming even clearer. Your crisis will eventually become our crisis. He could feel the energy within his body changing; the system notification read: [Interdimensional Energy Conversion Ability Unlocked: Can convert Haki into Saiyan ki].
As they left the island, the Sunny's sails rose once more. Luffy stood at the bow and shouted to Lin Ye: "Lin Ye! Once we find One Piece, we'll come visit your world! We'll definitely have a big fight then!"
"You're welcome anytime." Lin Ye waved with a smile, "I'll let you try my mom's braised pork sometime; it's even better than Sanji's fried rice."
Really? Then I definitely have to go!
Watching the Sunny disappear below the horizon, Lin Ye gripped the Dimensional Holy Sword tightly. He knew this encounter wasn't the end, but the beginning of a friendship between two worlds. On the system panel, new dimensional signals were flashing, suggesting more unknown adventures awaited them. And the Void Century of history in the One Piece world clearly held many more secrets related to dimensions; perhaps a next visit would unravel all the mysteries.
Chapter 356: Return and New Dimensions
"Sizzle..."
As the blue light from the portal exploded in the center of the Ark Space Station command center, Lin Ye's combat boots had just stepped onto the alloy floor when he heard Sanji's signature gasp.
"My God! Mr. Lin Ye, your straw hat still has sea monster slime on it!" The blond chef chased after them with tweezers in hand, followed by Chopper carrying a first-aid kit. "Let me take care of this quickly, it's Luffy's most treasured possession!"
"Don't touch it!" Lin Ye instinctively hid his straw hat behind his back, the still-sparkling silver flames from his sleeve brushing against the wall, leaving a trail of sparks. The command center fell silent instantly, hundreds of eyes fixed on them. Vegeta impatiently dusted off his dark blue battle suit, Cabba trembled as he held the energy recorder he'd brought back from the pirate world, and Android 18 leaned against the wall, adjusting her prosthetic eye, the lens reflecting the fluctuating data streams on the screen.
"You brat, you finally know how to come back?" Lin Ye's mother's voice suddenly pierced the silence. The woman in the lab coat grabbed his wrist, her fingertips stroking the calluses on his hand. "The radiation level in the dimensional rift is three times higher than normal. What happened to this scratch on your arm?"
"Mom, this was from a sea monster's scales, it's already healed." Lin Ye smiled and shook his arm, but his mother gave him a hard knock on the head.
"Even if it heals, it won't work!" She turned and shouted towards the lab, "Old Lin! Bring the latest repair gel!"
Lin Ye's father jogged out, beaker in hand, his glasses slipping down to his nose. "Don't rush, don't rush, let me take a look at this straw hat first." He carefully held the hat, turning it over and over. "The material is a special plant fiber, and there are still faint traces of Conqueror's Haki fluctuations inside..."
"Dad!"
"Coming, coming." Old Lin hurriedly pulled a small metal tube from his white coat pocket, then suddenly noticed the Saiyan badge hanging on Vegeta's waist, his eyes lighting up instantly. "Sir, is your energy core forged from dark matter alloy? I've been researching it recently..."
"Get out of my way." Vegeta frowned and swatted his hand away. A deep blue aura exploded half an inch wide, startling the researchers nearby who collectively retreated.
"Vegeta!" Lin Ye said in a deep voice, then turned to apologize to his father, who was looking embarrassed. "That's just his temper."
"It's alright, it's alright. People who do scientific research understand this kind of temper." Old Lin chuckled, rubbing his hands together. Suddenly, he lowered his voice and said, "Your mom secretly tried the jerky you brought back last night, and now she's debating whether or not to apply for a patent."
"Lin Ye!" Zeno's shout came from the ceiling. Two pink bunnies rode down on hover chairs, almost knocking over Chopper's first aid kit. "Quick, show us that person who can turn into an eraser! Beerus said it violates the laws of physics!"
"Here it is." Lin Ye brought up the holographic projection. As soon as the scene of Luffy using Conqueror's Haki to stun the Sea Kings appeared, the two Omni-Kings burst into laughter and collapsed into their chairs.
"His face can actually be stretched so long!"
"It's even more stringy than pudding!"
The High Priest appeared beside the command platform at some point, his white robes fluttering slightly in the air currents: "Your Majesty, please mind your manners." When he turned to Lin Ye, there was no hint of a smile in his golden eyes. "According to the data transmitted back from the Ark monitoring station, thirty-seven new dimensional rifts have appeared at the edge of the Seventh Universe, and the concentration of chaotic energy has increased by 47% compared to three months ago."
The jubilant atmosphere in the command center froze instantly. The researchers lowered their heads and began typing on their keyboards, and the star map on the screen began to flash red, each red dot representing a crack that was widening.
"What does this mean?" Gabe clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white. "Will all those sealed chaotic creatures awaken?"
“That’s not all.” The High Priest pulled up an image showing a technologically advanced planet collapsing, with black lines engulfing the continent like a spiderweb. “Chaotic pollution has begun to affect the basic structure of the material world. We need to establish a cross-dimensional defense system, namely the ‘Dimensional Alliance’.”
[System Notification: The "Dimensional Alliance" formation quest has been triggered. Upon completion, a stable passage between the 12 universes and the One Piece world will be unlocked. Reward: "Dimensional Resonance Generator" x1]
Lin Ye looked at Vegeta, who was staring at the collapsing planet on the screen, his lips pressed into a straight line: "Hmph, so they're finally getting serious? Those small-scale battles before weren't enough to warm up."
"Your Highness agrees to join?" Gabe's eyes lit up.
"Nonsense." Vegeta glanced at him. "Are we just going to watch those scum destroy all the stages where there's a fight?"
"Let's begin then." Lin Ye walked to the central control console, his fingers flying across the virtual keyboard. "Notify the Gods of Destruction and Supreme Kais of the 12 universes to hold an emergency meeting at the Omni-King's Palace in one hour. Also, send the coordinates to the Sunny in the One Piece world and use the temporary passage to pick them up."
"I've made all the arrangements." Number 18's voice came from behind, and she tossed a communicator over. "Miss Robin just replied that Luffy and the others are arguing about who should be the representative of the pirate world, and Mr. Zoro has already put three swords to Mr. Sanji's neck."
A burst of good-natured laughter erupted in the command center, easing the tense atmosphere considerably. Lin Ye's mother suddenly pushed her way to the front and shoved a tube of repair gel into his pocket: "Remember to apply the medicine, and..." she whispered, "When you see that kid named Luffy later, Mom will ask him how he makes his jerky."
On the white jade steps of the Omni-King's Palace, the auras of powerful figures from all walks of life intertwined, creating an invisible aura. Beerus squatted on the railing, licking his ice cream, while Champa and Quitara fought over a bag of Senzu Beans. Goku scratched his head, explaining the principles of the Gum-Gum Fruit to Krillin, while Vegeta sneered, "That doesn't even qualify as a fighting technique." Meanwhile, the crew of the Sunny were filled with curiosity about the cloud seats floating in the air, and Usopp was boasting that he could jump higher than the clouds.
"Quiet down." The High Priest's voice echoed in the hall, and twelve teleportation portals lit up simultaneously. Luffy, along with Zoro, Sanji, and the others, stepped out of the light, only to be grabbed by the arm by Zeno as soon as they landed.
"You're that rubber man?" The little pink dumpling pointed at his face. "Quick, transform yourself and let me see!"
"Great!" Luffy grinned, and suddenly his arm stretched three meters long, wrapping around the palace's crystal chandelier, eliciting gasps from the entire audience.
"Nonsense!" Fleet Admiral Sengoku's roar came from the Navy representative's seat, but Luffy blocked it with a face.
As Lin Ye stepped onto the podium, all eyes were on him. The Dimensional Holy Sword emitted a soft hum behind him, its patterns resonating with the star map on the dome of the hall: "Ladies and gentlemen, the threat of chaos is no longer confined to a single dimension. Three months ago, the sea monsters of the One Piece world awakened; a week ago, Planet Gary in the Seventh Universe was contaminated; and now, the rift is still widening."
He raised his hand and unleashed an energy wave, revealing scenes of carnage from various dimensions in the air: cities covered in black lines, melting planets, and slumbering giant chaotic creatures...
“We come from different worlds and have different fighting styles.” Lin Ye’s gaze swept over Goku, Luffy, and Vegeta. “But now, we have a common enemy.”
"So, we're going to form an alliance?" Luffy suddenly stood up, his straw hat tilted to one side. "Just like our pirate crew?"
"Pretty much." Lin Ye nodded. "If any dimension encounters a crisis, the other members must provide support."
“What if someone doesn’t follow the rules?” Zoro gripped the hilt of his sword, his eyes sharp. “Like those guys in the Navy.”
"Then let's beat them to a pulp!" Luffy and Goku said in unison, and then gave each other a high five.
Vegeta rolled his eyes: "Naive. We should have a strict punishment system, like revoking the right to use dimensional portals."
"I think Luffy's method is simpler," Sanji chuckled, a cigarette dangling from his lips. "Anyway, we'll have to fight in the end."
Arguments rose and fell. The Gods of Destruction debated who should be the leader of the alliance, the pirates were concerned about what to eat at the alliance's dinner, and the Navy insisted on including an "order maintenance clause." Lin Ye looked at the chaotic meeting place and suddenly remembered what Robin had said... "New order is often born from chaos."
"Everyone!" He raised his voice, the Dimensional Holy Sword plunged into the ground, and silver light instantly enveloped the entire area. "The core of the alliance is not rules, but trust."
In the light, everyone's weapons and abilities shimmered: Luffy's straw hat, Goku's golden cudgel, Vegeta's battle suit, Zoro's sword... These powers from different dimensions resonated in a wondrous way at this moment.
“Now,” Lin Ye raised his right hand, “those who are willing to fight to protect each other’s world, press this button with me.”
The control panel slowly rose, revealing only a single button flashing with rainbow light. Luffy was the first to rush forward, slamming his hand heavily on the button; Goku followed closely behind, pulling Vegeta along with him; Zoro and Sanji exchanged a glare before pressing the button simultaneously; the Omni-Kings, finding it amusing, jumped up on their chairs and pressed it several times…
As the last hand left the button, the star map on the palace dome suddenly came to life. Countless beams of light shot out from the star map, piercing through the palace and weaving a vast network across the universe. Iconic planets from every dimension lit up in the network, like a string of ever-burning lighthouses.
“This is…” Robin stared at the Poneglyphs that appeared in the beam of light, his eyes flashing with shock, “Dimensional energy is automatically repairing the rift!”
"That's because after the alliance was formed, the power of all the members formed a resonance barrier," the High Priest explained. "Just like the Saiyans' ki amplifies each other, energies from different dimensions can also complement each other."
Suddenly, Luffy jumped onto the podium and shouted at the top of his lungs, "From now on, no matter who is in trouble, just call out, and I, Luffy... the future Pirate King, will be the first to arrive!"
"Don't get cocky, you idiot," Vegeta scoffed. "Real battles are fought through training, not slogans. Starting tomorrow, all League members must participate in my special training."
"I don't want to be trained by you!" Luffy made a face. "If we're going to compete, let's compete to see who can defeat the leader of the Chaos Creatures first!"
"Stay with me to the end!"
Seeing the two arguing heatedly, Lin Ye smiled helplessly. A new badge appeared next to his "Dimensional Overlord" title on the system panel—an alliance emblem composed of Gum-Gum Fruit patterns and Saiyan symbols.
Three days later, in the garden of the Ark Space Station.
Lin Ye's mother was squatting in front of the flower bed, carefully watering the Devil Fruit seeds. His father was installing a detector nearby; a screen on a metal bracket displayed real-time energy data.
"Do you think these seeds can grow into a tree that bears rubber fruit?" the mother asked, resting her chin on her hand. "If the fruit tasted like barbecue, it would definitely fetch a good price."
"Stop thinking about making money all the time." Old Lin adjusted the equipment. "This is a plant that can absorb chaotic energy. If we succeed in researching it, it might be able to solve the pollution problem in the seventh universe."
"Then we absolutely must apply for a patent!"
Lin Ye leaned against the railing, watching his parents bicker, twirling the straw hat Luffy had given him. Android 18 walked over, his mechanical prosthetic eye flashing blue: "Vegeta and Luffy are fighting in the training room, saying they want to see whose energy is more suitable for driving the dimensional resonance generator."
"Let them make a scene." Lin Ye gazed at the energy network flowing in the distant starry sky. "Anyway, the God of Destruction will repair the training room."
After a moment of silence, Number 18 suddenly said, "We have detected abnormal energy fluctuations in the One Piece world, which are consistent with the frequency when the sea monster awoke three months ago."
Lin Ye suddenly stood up straight, and the Dimensional Holy Sword instantly appeared in his hand: "Where are the coordinates?"
"East Blue, near Windmill Village." Number 18 pulled up the footage, showing a calm sea surface with bubbles rising, and black lines spreading from the seabed. "Robin said that's Luffy's hometown."
The straw hat slipped from Lin Ye's hand and was swept into the air by the wind. Just as he reached out to catch it, a system notification suddenly popped up:
[Warning: High-purity chaotic energy body detected, suspected to be the leader of "Lawful Chaos"]
Location: East Blue in the One Piece world
